Clearly define the life you want. Life's too short to not get what you want from it - let alone to not at least pursue it. Goals are the one thing that keep you on track when everything else is off track. They help you maintain a healthy perspective and not get consumed in the minutiae (little things that don't matter) in life.

I did a post last week on how goals are overrated but don't get me wrong - that post was made to get across the fact that goals without action are just words on paper. Whenever I'm going through a tough time, I write down my goals. Many of my role models review/rewrite their goals just after waking up and right before going to bed at night. No money in the bank? Focus on your goals. Rough breakup? Focus on your goals. Business isn't 'booming'? Focus on your goals.

Perspective is everything in life. If you don't know what you're shooting for in life, you'll easily get caught in the routine of every day life with no sense of direction or purpose. See yourself where you want to go, write it down every day, then sit back and see how your life changes.
